Ben Affleck is teaming back up with his Justice League co-star Ezra Miller for the upcoming Flash film. It’s a film we’ll see Michael Keaton’s Batman return as well.
Zack Snyder was asked about Ben returning as Bruce Wayne/Batman for the the film and reacted to the news saying:
“I guess from my point of view I think that that’s cool. I mean, I don’t know what else to say except, yeah, that’s an amazing idea to, you know – the butterfly on a wheel concept of time getting distorted is cool, and I’d be interested to see what that means. I mean, I think that in a lot of ways what we’ve done is kind of undeniable now, as far as the stamp it’s put on the DC world. So, yeah.”
Andy Muschietti also weighed in on Ben returning as Batman when asked about it last year saying
“His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong which is his masculinity—because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline —but he’s also very vulnerable,” he said. “He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance.”
“He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before. It’s Barry’s movie, it’s Barry’s story, but their characters are more related than we think. They both lost their mothers to murder, and that’s one of the emotional vessels of the movie. That’s where the Affleck Batman kicks in. I’m glad to be collaborating with someone who has been on both sides of the camera, too. He understands.”
We recently saw Affleck’s Bruce Wayne return in Zack Snyder’s Justice League film. You can now watch the SnyderCut on HBO Max!
